Alright…
I want to ask you something.
And I need you to be honest with me.
How many of you showed up somewhere this summer…
said you were only staying for one…
and then looked up three hours later
wondering how you got there?
Yeah. That's what I thought.
Now here's the thing nobody talks about.
It's never really your fault.
You had a plan.
You were being responsible.
But then somebody opened the cooler…
looked right at you…
and said "just one more."
And that right there…
that's where the plan ends.
So tonight I'm gonna need every single one of you
to reach back into your memory,
find one of those moments…
and just lean into it with me.
'Cause we got a cooler full of bad ideas…
and we ain't sayin' no.
Dropped that cooler into the summer sand,
Settled in like we own this song.
First one cracked with a quiet kind of plan —
That we weren't gonna stay too long.
But somebody laughed and said "what if…"
And that's where it all went wrong.
Now we're standin' knee-deep in the moment
We were tryin' to avoid all along.
There's a cooler full of bad ideas
Sittin' right here in the shade,
Every one sounds better
Than the last one that we made.
We said we'd take it easy —
Just a couple, then we'd go…
But there's a cooler full of bad ideas,
Someone's talkin' 'bout a midnight swim,
Someone else found a rope and a tree.
There's a line where good sense used to live —
We stepped right past it easily.
Sun's still hangin' but we lost track of time,
Like we always somehow do.
Every bad idea starts soundin' fine
When the next one comes into view.
There's a cooler full of bad ideas
Sittin' right here in the shade,
Every one sounds better
Than the last one that we made.
We said we'd take it easy —
Just a couple, then we'd go…
But there's a cooler full of bad ideas,
It ain't about the drink in your hand,
It's the ones you didn't plan
That leave a saltwater stain,
And wash away the might-have-been.
Now I know some of you out there tonight…
you got a cooler that looks exactly like this one.
Don't even try to deny it.
Help me close this one out.
There's a cooler full of bad ideas
Sittin' right here in the shade,
Every one sounds better
Than the last one that we made.
We said we'd take it easy —
Just a couple, then we'd go…
But there's a cooler full of bad ideas,
Yeah, just one more…
Washin' away the might-have-beens.
Cooler full of bad ideas…
Guess we should've known.
Yeah, we definitely should've known.
Just leave the lid open…
Saltwater stains…
